Root canal treatment

In a case of very advanced caries, the bacteria can infect the “tooth nerve”. As a result, a possibly painful inflammation develops. If the infection persists for a longer period of time, the “tooth nerve” dies and decomposes. The bacteria multiply, penetrate to the tip of the root and cause an infection in the surrounding bone. Even a “pus tooth” (abscess) can develop as a result.

Dental accidents, untreated periodontal diseases and other diseases can also lead to the death of a tooth and the need for root canal treatment.

The goal of the treatment is to disinfect the bacteria-infected canal system inside the tooth.

Process

The following steps are necessary:

• length measurement of the root canals via X-ray and electronic means
• mechanical preparation by rotating flexible files
• disinfecting, tissue dissolving rinses
• medicamentous inlays
• bacteria-proof root canal fillingbakteriendichte Füllung der Wurzelkanäle

For an optimal treatment result, we use state-of-the-art preparation systems with electrical length measurement and highly flexible disposable instruments. The decisive factor for the long-term success of a root canal treatment is the final, bacteria-proof closure of the tooth to the oral cavity.

Costs of root canal treatment

The cost of a root canal treatment varies depending on the number of root canals and the number of sessions required. We are happy to advise you individually.
